Chapter 2: The first battle against Gao Jie
After such a long time of training, Xue Rengui led three thousand golden guards, oh, it was said that it was three thousand, but in fact, there were still two thousand nine hundred people who were seven people, and three of them were treated as the chicken that respected the monkey because the habits of the rivers and lakes were difficult to change.

After receiving orders from Liu Ao's so many ships, they didn't even have time to inspect the coastline. These three finished ships have been used by Xue Rengui as a training ship, and the young master said that the training is almost the same, so you can go out to inspect and pull out for training.
Today is the day to go out to practice, and the so-called practice is to intercept and rob a big ship when it sees it. Pirates, every ship has the banner of the Skeleton God Pirate, this is what Jin Wei knew as soon as he arrived. Before Li Shimin's clear attitude, these people could only be pirates, and they could not form the fleet of the Tang Dynasty.
It is only at sea that the insignificance of man is truly felt. The three ships sailed in a trained formation towards the deep sea. The black flag of the skull god fluttered in the sea breeze.
In the past few days of training, Xue Rengui has learned to read the nautical chart, the stars and thick lines on it, as well as a circle, which was later filled in by Xue Rengui.
In the shallow sea, you can occasionally see fishermen, and as you go deeper, you can see the endless sea except for the seabirds. This trip is to pass through Liwu Island, I really don't know that Wu Cao on this island, a student of my eldest brother, so let my eldest uncle care, no, freshly baked cakes, to send a basket.
The silly old man also picked a lot of strawberries he planted and sent them over.
A few miles away from Wudao, a fleet of boats was getting closer......
Zhang Zhongjian got up from Jiuzi with satisfaction, no matter how he was happy with Jiuzi, he imagined Jiuzi as a red whisk girl in his mind, and he also knew that this was very bad, but he couldn't control himself.
Jiuzi seems to have accepted his fate, for so many days, he was treated as a doll by Zhang Zhongjian, until he cared about the confusion, Zhang Zhongjian roared: "Dust ......"
It was another person's name, and although I didn't know who she was, I could feel that Zhang Zhongjian compared himself to her. thought that her beauty would fascinate Zhang Zhongjian, but now she knows that she was wrong, and her mistake was outrageous.
His innocence is not guaranteed, let alone his two maids. has already been troubled by Zhang Zhongjian's men. Hisako has been looking for an opportunity to escape, but there is no way to escape from the vast sea and small ships.
"Oh no, there are skeleton pirates in front of me again, damn it, it's Liu Ao's pirate ship." Zhang Zhongjian's men came to report. Jiuzi's eyes lit up when she heard Liu Ao's words.
"It's really a bad family, I thought I wouldn't meet it, but I didn't expect it to be, I did, the one-month period has passed, and there's nothing to say, it's our loss, go up and spread the word, saying that we were delayed by the wind and waves, and we left."
Xue Rengui, I don't know Zhang Zhongjian and the Nine-Fingered Dragon King, and the eldest brother also specially instructed him to guard against this Nine-Fingered Dragon King. This time, I heard that the four ships in front of me belonged to Zhang Zhongjian, and I looked at my three thousand gold guards and proudly asked the people below to reply.
"Leave the cargo behind, gather the people on one ship and take them away, otherwise, kill them all!"
Xue Rengui's words angered Zhang Zhongjian, where did he get this anger, he ordered to prepare for war, he hadn't fought with Liu Ao's big ship, so he didn't believe that this ship was really as powerful as Liu Ao said.
As soon as the horn sounded, the subordinates of the Nine-Fingered Dragon King immediately made a battle formation, and the four ships immediately set off, and the three ships that fanned towards Xue Rengui surrounded them.
Seeing that the other party ignored it, but rushed over, Xue Rengui's flag waved, and windows opened in the boathouses of the three ships, and bows and arrows stretched out. The difference is that there are a lot of cotton balls on it. Racks of glass bottles were brought to the deck, filled with gasoline.
When Xue Rengui gave an order, Jin Wei on the deck threw the glass bottles over one by one, they were all specially trained, and the glass bottles were also specially made and were easy to break. Almost as soon as the bottles were thrown, the rockets on this side were launched, not hurting, the focus was on the places where the bottles landed.
Zhang Zhongjian's big ship burned in an instant.
There is no shortage of water in the sea, but it is of little use. The chaotic Hisako secretly kicked a life-saving boat off the boat, and these days, Hisako's performance made Zhang Zhongjian relax his vigilance and unlock the acupoint for her.
Hisako desperately rowed in the direction of Takeshima.
Zhang Zhongjian was furious, let out a long roar, and flew up the mast in the rain of arrows, rushing towards Xue Rengui's ship. Xue Rengui handed over the flag to his subordinates, and picked up the two short Fang Tian painting halberds at hand, which were Lu Zhan's own handy weapons, each weighing one hundred and eighty catties. Meet Zhang Zhongjian.
The fight here alarmed Wu Cao and Liwu, who were cultivating on Liwu Island. As soon as he came out of the hut, he saw a woman rowing over. For Liu Ao and their big ship, Wu Cao is too familiar. Seeing the pirate flag felt kind. There was a ship that dared to start a war with his master's brother's ship, Wu Cao was very curious.
"Who are you? Who is at war with the Skull God? ”
Hisako paddled desperately to the edge of the island, but before she could get ashore, she saw a cold woman staring at her and asked.
"This palace is Princess Jiuzi, the envoy of the Japanese Kingdom, who was robbed by Zhang Zhongjian, not only robbed the ship and goods of the palace, but also killed the entourage of the palace, it was he who was fighting against the skeleton pirates on the opposite side. Heroine helps. ”
Seeing that Wu Cao was alone on this island, and Wu Cao was dressed well, he couldn't see the depth by himself, and knew that he was a strange woman with skills, seeing that he cared so much about pirates, he knew that this pirate had something to do with this woman. Make a distress gesture as you go.
"Zhang Zhongjian? I once threatened my master's brother, hum, I'm impatient. With that, he pulled Hisako ashore, jumped into the boat by himself, and with enough strength under his feet, the boat rushed out like a flight......
After Xue Rengui fought, he knew that this Zhang Zhongjian was really powerful, if it wasn't for his innate divine power, he would have been killed a long time ago, and the other party was a master.
Fighting hard, he didn't know, Zhang Zhongjian was also surprised, this young man's strength was comparable to his own internal strength! "Who are you? What about Liu Ao? ”
"The eldest husband doesn't change his name, he doesn't change his surname, Xue Rengui is also. Lord Liu has decreed that no ship is allowed to walk on this coastline without the permission of our skeleton god, you have good kung fu, so what? Your men, under my three thousand brothers, will surely perish. ”
"Then Honza will kill you first." Zhang Zhongjian knew that Xue Rengui was telling the truth, and after a long time, it was really over. With all the strength of his body, he raised his nine-ring broadsword, ready to kill Xue Rengui in one fell swoop.
"Hugh has to go wild on the Skeletron." Xiao Wu arrived. The person was still jumping in the air, and when he saw that Xue Rengui was not Zhang Zhongjian's opponent, he raised his hand to Zhang Zhongjian and fired. It was a dirt gun left by Liu Ao.
Zhang Zhongjian was really scared of this thing, and he lay down for this for more than a month last time. The key is that this thing is not easy to dodge, it is played in pieces, not in a line.
In a hurry, his body was more than a foot high, and his legs were numb. Knowing that the leg hurts.
This is the first time Xue Rengui has seen Wu Cao, and the last time he gave a cake, he didn't see anyone at all. Zhang Zhongjian stood on the roof of the boat, looked at his bleeding leg, and knew that this time it was carried again. As soon as his leg was injured and he couldn't use his body technique, Xue Rengui himself estimated that he couldn't win.
"Who are you Liu Ao?" Seeing the weapon in Wu Cao's hand, he knew that he had a lot of relationship with Liu Ao.
"You are Zhang Zhongjian? Are you still threatening your master's brother? It's really a shame. Come on, this girl doesn't need this, let's fight. ”
Zhang Zhongjian is so angry! When did a little girl dare to argue with herself? "You're Wu Cao?"
I heard that the Red Whisk Girl said that the only person in the entire Liu Mansion who called Master Liu Ao's brother was a little girl named Wu Cao, who was very smart and unusually smart, and was the apprentice of the Jade Girl Sect Zuo Shi.
Since coming to the sea, I haven't communicated with Li Jing, and I haven't replaced it, and the Jade Girl Gate has been changed to Emei.
"That's right, this girl is Wu Cao, you are not small, you also robbed the envoys of the Japanese country, plundered the property, and imprisoned the princess, you can do it! My master's brother is an official of the Tang Dynasty, can he ignore this matter? ”
"Okay, this time Zhang planted it, Zhang admitted it, you take the ship and the goods, just give this seat a boat."
Standing on the roof of the boat, looking carefully, his subordinates were almost killed by those who jumped to the gang, and there were a few people with slightly better martial arts such as Scar fighting.
"What's the use of those wrecked ships? You see, it's all burned out, let your people stop, you don't give orders anymore, it's estimated that you're going to die. Zhang Zhongjian had no choice but to ask Scar and the others to stop, and Xue Rengui also issued an order for a truce.
Knowing that Wu Cao was in front of him, he quickly explained his intentions.
"I know that my brother thinks about me, what about the cake?"
In the cabin, Xue Rengui was sweating profusely, and this girl's face changed too quickly. Regardless of him, quickly send someone to gather the ship and clean up the battlefield. This time, he got the help of Wu Cao to win this confrontation, without him, he was estimated to die in the end, and his three thousand Jinwei won in the end.
According to the statistics, more than 30 people were killed and wounded, and more than 100 people were killed or injured on the other side.
Zhang Zhongjian's subordinates, who were not dead, gathered together, sent people to watch, and came to Zhang Zhongjian again. The number of dead and wounded has exceeded the budget given to him by Li Shimin, and he really doesn't dare to make a hasty decision, he has to tell His Majesty that he knows.
"To tell you the truth, these 3,000 people are not ordinary people, they are His Majesty's Jin Weijun, Ruyi Jin has more than 30 casualties, and Xue is not good at making his own decisions, so he has to go back and tell His Majesty that he knows, as for you, you have to listen to Your Majesty's fate." This is Xue Rengui's thinking.
"Hehe, let the kid of the Li family settle down? Even Liu Ao doesn't dare to say that, you can write to Liu Ao and see what he says. ”
"Wow, and strawberries?" Wu Cao came out of the cabin eating. "There is also a woman on the island, called Princess Hisako, who is a messenger of the Wa Kingdom, and sent someone to take her back.
Also, have my cake and my strawberries be shipped. Oh, Xue Rengui, Wu Cao still calls you brother-in-law. Tell you, don't bully Sister Dachun, otherwise, I, Xiao Wu, will be the first to let you go. ”
Xue Rengui was speechless, where is this? Why did it get to Liu Chun's head again? What a hassle for women! A man's mind can never be so detached from a woman's mind. On this kind of occasion, men can't even think of women's homely routines.
But this aunt really didn't dare to offend, and heard her wife talk about this Wu Cao, who was once her wife's husband.
However, Princess Hisako's safety is a big deal, and this is a great credit for saving Princess Hisako!
Send Wu Cao back to the island and pick up Hisako, Hisako's men, two maids, and one left, that one is said to be dead, how did he die, no one pursues this anymore.
Zhang Zhongjian's legs finally couldn't support it, and he lay on the deck, and was treated by the people sent by Xue Rengui, saying that it was a treatment, that is, drinking numb clothes and peeling out the iron thorns that were beaten in the flesh.
This time, Zhang Zhongjian did not act recklessly, drank hemp clothes, and fell asleep......
After receiving Xue Rengui's letter, Liu Ao also had a headache, what about your Zhang Zhongjian, Zhang Zhongjian, you will be a disaster to the princess of the Japanese Kingdom, and it is good to kill you, this also saves Xue Rengui, it is not appropriate to let you go, and hand you over to Li Shimin, it is estimated that Li Jing will hate himself for the rest of his life.
Helpless, I went to discuss with Li Jing.
The red whisk girl knew that Zhang Zhongjian was injured again, and she was very anxious. was about to go to the dock, but was drunk by Li Jing. Just kidding, this time is different, Princess Jiuzi is the envoy of the Wa Kingdom, the messenger of robbery, where to put Datang's face? Li Shimin will also execute Zhang Zhongjian for the sake of face.
Li Jing didn't speak for a long time, and the red whisk girl also knew that this time the matter was big, so she looked at Li Jing anxiously.
"Let Brother Zhang go, say that he escaped alone, he is strong in martial arts, Your Majesty will believe it, after all, there are still so many eyes watching, creating an illusion, let the eldest brother not appear in Datang, Li has a hunch, this time it is estimated that it will be goodbye.
The eldest brother is proud all his life, and the envoys of the Japanese country don't have to return to China, what do you think Your Majesty's 3,000 gold guards are doing, and they are not tempted by your silver?
If the old man's estimate is good, Xue Rengui will set sail, and the first stop will be the Wa Kingdom. The old man accepts a favor from you, anyway, he already owes you one, there are more lice and no itching, and there are more debts. ”
In the end, it is a military master, Liu Ao also guessed so.
sent a letter to Xue Rengui, asking him to release Zhang Zhongjian, live and die, send Jiuzi back to Chang'an, continue training, and continue to standby. As for how to arrange nature, don't leave the beginning and the end, and figure it out yourself. Tell him that there are His Majesty's spies in the dockyard, and that everything will be done naturally, and His Majesty will know. ”
This is the crime of deceiving the king, and there are fewer things to deceive the king? Liu Ao believes that since Li Shimin has the idea of fighting the Japanese country, he will not take it too seriously, a princess who has no country, who will take it seriously, but it still has to be done.
Liu Ao can think that even if he has the idea of fighting the Japanese country, he will not use the banner of Datang, after all, what Datang wants to do is a state of benevolence and righteousness, and he is the son of heaven of benevolence and righteousness.
The person in charge of delivering food to Zhang Zhongjian in the dockyard opened the door and found that Zhang Zhongjian was gone, except for Scar and Zhang Zhongjian, the rest of the people were still there.
Hurry up and report to Xue Rengui, Xue Rengui ordered Jin Weisou. Tossed for a day and caught nothing.
At this time, Jiuzi was already on her way back to Chang'an. (To be continued.) )
